Kevin de Bruyne is one of the best players in the world and having him in their ranks is undoubtedly an advantage for Manchester City. The Belgian midfielder was injured in matchday 1 of this Premier League and after reappearing a few days ago in the FA Cup, this Saturday he returned to play in an English league match, which was decisive in leading his team to an intense success He took the field in the 69th minute, with the score at 2-1 and after scoring a goal and setting up another for Oscar Bobb, things finished at 2-3 making the three points fly in Manchester after the subsequent explosion. joy from Pep Guardiola in the band of St. James’ Park.
City did not have an easy time against a Newcastle side that had lost five of their last six Premier League games. Because although ‘citizen’ was the first blow, the break was 2-1 in favor of ‘magpies’. The first goal for Guardiola’s team was scored by Bernardo Silva, who is also not lame and has a lot of talent. It was in the 26th minute, when in a great technical gesture he sent the ball into the net after receiving a low cross from Walker. It seemed then that the road to victory would be smooth for City, but with two chips, as isolated as they were fatal, Newcastle reversed the score. It was in two counterattacks, both ending in precise and tight shots, more like a video game than the real world. The first was from Isak, in the 35th minute, and the second was from Gordon, two minutes later. Two actions where Walker was shown, for being caught offside in the first case and for not pressing properly in the second.
After all the above, the second half began with City forced to come back and Guardiola’s men willingly agreed to form a monologue of the game. They gradually shut down Newcastle in their area and in the 69th minute Pep pulled out the ace to win the game. He brought De Bruyne onto the field, and five minutes later (74′) the Belgian drilled a pass into the net from the edge of the area to make it 2-2. This is the first of two works of art signed by old Kevin, who additionally donned an assistant’s suit for the winning goal. He used a good pass in the area to find Oscar Bobb, who beat Trippier, and the Norwegian, who also had plenty of quality, dribbled past Dubravka to make it 2-3. It was a victory as difficult as it gets for a Manchester City who sleep 2 points behind leaders Liverpool, who are now tied with the same in terms of games played.
